ALMOST AN EPIDEMIC.

Sickness in the State Prison-The State
 Board of Health Called in and They
 Make am Investigation.
 During the last three heated weeks the prisoners at Wethersfeld have so generally suffered from diarrhoeal disorders and dys entery that some action beyond the custom ary means of the prison has finally been deemed necessary. There are twenty four patients in the hospital and thirty eight more or less sick in the prison outside of the hos pital. Eleven are down with the dysentery, which is always threatening disorder, and thirteen more seem to be in the first stages of that disease. In single day-the 9th of July--no fewer than forty-six were prostrat- ed with the more or less violent incipient forms of troubles that are apt to end in dys- entery, and inquiry developed the fact that they had been fed bountifully on pork for 4th of July dinner; the heat at the time las slnce) was excessive Beans also are an important article of prison diet.
 Yesterday Drs. Lindsley of New Hay en and Goodwin of Thomaston, of the State board of health, visited the prison to exam inc into the probable causes of the outbreak, which threatens, if not checked, to become an alarming epidemic
 The prison is full-probably over 200 pris- oners-and in this very trying weather the uttermost thoroughness in cleansing all the appliances for every cell of the invisible germs of disease is absolutely necessary. The appliances, Dr. Lindsley thinks, should be subjected to thorough treatment daily, to washing in a solution of corrosive sub Innate. The cells are very damp. Four fires are kept burning. hot as the weather is, in the corridors to dry the air.
 It is said the new plans now being carried to completion in the reconstruction of the prison include water closet for each cell
